You can forget the impact for the leaf bolts. Grab a 6' cheater bar and a 1/2" breaker bar and get to work! LOL Try PBlaster instead of WD40 it seems to work about 100 times better.

Don't forget to torque them back down after 500 miles and the 21 and 22 mm are most comin keep a sawzaw handy for bad bolts most likely the rear shock bolts will break so bar bin eliminators or use rear sway bar brackets lots and lots of pb blaster! Impact would really help but breaker bar will be your best friend. And like already stated the leaf spring bolts are a PITA! Best of luck hope it comes out good

I would also suggest a MAPP gas torch you can get them at any home improvement store and they're pretty cheap. They burn hotter than a propane torch and will help break rust that PB Blaster won't. Just watch were you're burning so you don't catch anything on fire!.
